Even though I walk through the valley of the the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.I’m walking through a dark valley, along with my family. I guess I had always thought of this verse in terms of my own death. I wish it were that easy. I would pick that over my son’s death right now, no reservations.
It’s really easy to get scared of more evil that might come my way…
- Scared something else will happen.
- Scared my kids will not be able to deal with it in a healthy way.
- Scared this acute pain will not go away at some point – that I’ll never get back to my normal energy level.
- Scared I will forget details about Caleb as time goes on.
Any of these things may happen – but if they do, God is still with me.
God doesn't stop me from going into the horrible valley, instead he comes with me. Does he always let the bad things come? I don’t think so – there is a lot of good my world. Does he stop all the bad from coming if I sincerely ask him? Obviously not.
King David also said: I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my defense, he has become my salvation.
